| Abstract Scope |
This study proposes an innovative approach to sustainable fruit packaging to ensure optimal freshness, traceability, authenticity and responsible consumption while reducing environmental impact. We integrate smart sensors on fruit packaging that provides consumers with transparent, authentic information about the product, including harvest date, farm name, nutritional properties, and disposal methods. Using Computational Materials Engineering approach and augmented AI tools, we design packaging material with high barrier functionality, sustainability, and compostability, addressing performance and environmental impact. We achieve this by screening the material requirement from our in house library of sustainable materials. The smart sustainable packaging promotes high end consumer experience to trace their food, gain nutritional information, real time assessment of quality and responsible disposal of food waste and packaging waste. This is achieved by digital tools that scan the food information in real time as input, processes it in backend and gives requisite output using mobile application. |
